Purpose: To retrospectively analyze the efficacy and toxicity of image-guided radiotherapy (IGRT) in the management of prostate cancer (PCA) recurrence after primary cryotherapy.

Methods: Patients with organ-confined PCA who developed biochemical failure after cryotherapy were treated with definitive IGRT. Acute and late genitourinary (GU) and gastrointestinal (GI) side effects were scored every 4 months using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Effects (CTCAE). PSA was measured at 4- to 6-month intervals after IGRT.

Results: From 2011 through 2013, 16 patients (9 low-risk, 5 intermediate-risk, and 2 high-risk) who failed to respond to primary cryotherapy were treated with 7,920 cGy IGRT. Thirty-one percent received a short course of concurrent androgen suppression. The median age was 72 years (range: 47–80 yr); The median precryotherapy PSA was 4 ng/mL (range: 1.6–17 ng/mL); the median interval from cryotherapy to IGRT was 48 months (range: 12–84 mo); and the median pre-IGRT PSA was 3.4 ng/mL (range: 1.2–27 ng/mL). At a median follow-up of 18 months (range: 9–34 mo), biochemical control was achieved in all patients. Fifty-six percent of patients developed grade 2 GU toxicity requiring the use of an alpha-blocker or cholinergic receptor antagonist, and 12% developed grade 2 GI toxicity requiring the use of corticosteroid suppositories. These side effects resolved within 12 months. No grade 3 toxicity was encountered.

Conclusion: Prostate IGRT after cryotherapy failure is well tolerated, and early results show excellent PSA response.
